so at least you admit pc's need upgrades every two years to maintain its edge? otherwise,show me a couple 2014 games a 2006 pc runs significantly better than a 360. when will you realize were here for completely different reasons. as much as we 'peasants' like to change our rides every few years ,most of us dont bother replacing helicopter engines with train engines in them every few months just to make it the loudest even if not entirely useful . you have the spare money? congratulation. nobody cares

@Vishmarx not really I had a 570 when I was in alpha for PS2 as I was a PS1 player, I played it on max settings and still play it on max settings on my 570. PS2 problem was at the time crap SLI support and it also ran like crap on newer GFX cards is was coding not hardware.

PS1 ran like a bag of shit even on the most expensive hardware, it was not the hardware's fault it was the fact the code they used had massive memory leaks that screwed over hardware.

I bought a 770 a few months ago because I wanted a new GFX card not because I needed 1, there was hardly any increase in performance to PS2, again coding not hardware yet all my other games had a massive FPS boost. PC's are no where near as cut and dry as console are.

Oh and ill show you Bad company 2 run better on a really old 8800GTS than an xbox can do.

People lack to see that those console has 8 cores. They will use all the power they can get to deliver the best experience. Sorry if you're a PC nay-sayer.

Oh yeah, while we are at it. Aren't mobile devices specs supposed to be stronger than the PS Vita? Then how is it that Uncharted Golden Abyss, Killzone Mercenary looks significantly better than any other game on mobile; a game release 3 years ago.

It depends on the game. Planetside 2 is a fairly old game. So the demand of that game shouldn't be hard to max out. Even for an next gen console. When PC gamers are referring to PS4 can only run medium/low settings, they are referring to modern day games. Games such BF4, Watch Dogs, The Witcher 3, etc. I know I am going to get tons of disagrees on this comment. However, my attention is not to downplay the PS4.

The way it was optimized at that point, it seemed like it would be a miracle if it ran at all. They must have done some serious optimization, I'll have to see if it runs better on pc as well, it could only seem to use one cpu core last time I tried.

The peasant thing is silly. People spend more money on consoles gaming/games in general. Not to mention the very "peasantish" online DRM and piracy that is so common in the PC world. But as an owner of dozens of GOG games, an avid Counter Strike player, and a console game collector I wish the best for both worlds.

if they can achieve ultra settings.on ps4 Then fair play to them, they must have optimized the engine a lot more because on my old rig with a gtx670 I couldn't run ultra and I no that card beats what's in the ps4

Whatever you say is not going to get through ps fanboys. They're grasping for straws. Any article think they got over on pc they are going to leap at even without logic. Now when this game launch and have frame rate issues there will be so much spinning

"It was a mid-range GPU 2 years ago when it was relatively new. Classifications change with age."

that would be the case "if" that is "if" you could change the GPU, which you could not thus when this system was built and designed it was in fact a Mid tier GPU. it was not low end when it was build.

Just because PC's advance to more powerful GPU's does not change the fact just 2 years ago, this GPU was not an Entry level GPU! and its still not even now IT IS A "Pitcairn" FAMILY OF GPU'S AMD classes "Pitcairn" family class of GPU mid tier not an entry level GPU

The point is that it would be by today's standards. Software optimizations can only go so far. The power discrepancy will get even more larger every year and pretty soon, people are gonna be asking for the next-generation of hardware already.

Is that why all the multiplats I have played look better on my PC than on my PS4?

I have a GTX 770 and I've rented, borrowed and even bought multiplats for my PS4 that I already own on my PC and every single one of them ran and looked better on my PC than on my PS4. Those include: Battlefield 4, Thief, Watch Dogs, Bound By Flame and Assassin's Creed 4.

I like my PS4 a lot, it's a good console. I just don't like people talking so much crap about the PC or saying things that are simply not true. If your comment was sarcasm I apologize, but there are other comments above that said similar things and were apparently serious.

Anyone know if it will be cross platform or not? I'm curious to know and don't have the time at work to research it. My buddy likes playing this game on my pc but he only has a ps4 and I would like to know if there is a chance at us getting to play it together.

I'm getting tired of companies deciding if gamers should play with other gamers. It saddens me that the split in the community is fueled by companies thinking it would give an edge to their competitors.

I think a lot of it may have to do with putting new players who have nothing unlocked up against veterans who have many things unlocked. I can see the problem with that, though I can also see the other side of it, especially for people who spent money on their Planetside 2 accounts.
